Learn more about the map styles

Each map type offers different information and each map style is designed for a different purpose. Read about the styles and map projection used in the above map (Shaded Relief 3D Map of Frontier Governates, political shades outside).

Shaded relief map shows landscape features, such as mountains, valleys and plateaus. Flat areas are smooth on the map, areas with steep slopes and mountains appear more rough. The above map of Frontier Governates was created using a digital elevation model.

Zoom in to see major highways, railroads and airports. Railroad network is marked with wide dashed red and white line. Major highways are marked with wide white line. Switch to the detailed view for far more detailed navigation map with live traffic updates, GPS navigation and travel directions.

Political shades map is similar to a political map, however different regions are represented by the tints and shades of the same color, not by different colors. The purpose of a political map of Frontier Governates is to provide information about how people have divided up the world into countries and administrative regions.

Different colors distinguish highest level divisions, their sub-regions are coloured by various shades of the same color. The choice of the color for countries and regions is random.

A map projection is a way how to transform points on a Earth to points on a map. This 3D map uses Plate Carree projection, a simple variant of the equidistant cylindrical projection originated in the ancient times. The parallels and meridians are equally spaced, they together form equally sized squares over the entire world map.

Using simple grid, where each cell has the same size and shape, brings in significant benefits. For comparison, the detailed maps of Frontier Governates use Mercator projection instead. The Mercator projection preserves the shapes and angles of small areas better, but on the other hand, it significantly distorts the size of areas.

The Maphill difference

It's neither this shaded relief 3D map nor any other of the many millions of maps. The value of a map gallery is not determined by the number of pictures, but by the possibility to see the world from many different perspectives.

Technology

We unlock the value hidden in the geographic data. Thanks to automating the complex process of turning data into map graphics, we are able to create maps in higher quality, faster and cheaper than was possible before.

Forever free

We created Maphill to make the web a more beautiful place. Without you having to pay for it. Maphill maps are and will always be available for free.

Real Earth data

Do you think the maps are too beautiful not to be painted? No, this is not art. All 3D maps of Frontier Governates are created based on real Earth data. This is how the world looks like.

Easy to use

This map is available in a common image format. You can copy, print or embed the map very easily. Just like any other image.

Different perspectives

The value of Maphill lies in the possibility to look at the same area from several perspectives. Maphill presents the map of Frontier Governates in a wide variety of map types and styles.

Vector quality

We build each 3D map individually with regard to the characteristics of the map area and the chosen graphic style. Maps are assembled and kept in a high resolution vector format throughout the entire process of their creation.

Experience of discovering

Maphill maps will never be as detailed as Google maps or as precise as designed by professional cartographers. Our goal is different. We want to redefine the experience of discovering the world through the maps.

Fast anywhere

Maps are served from a large number of servers spread all over the world. Globally distributed map delivery network ensures low latency and fast loading times, no matter where on Earth you happen to be.
